The Kremlin obviously views last week’s Latin America tour by President Dmitry Medvedev as somewhat of a coup in foreign relations. The final Cuban leg of the tour was a feast of warm and fuzzy moments, with Raúl Castro walking arm in arm with Medvedev, who subsequently described relations between the two countries as ‘especially intense‘.
The tour was the subject of the latest presidential podcast, filmed on the flight back home to Russia with Medvedev looking very technologically-savvy next to his Mac computer.
